Does the Super Stretchy Bind Off works on flat loom?

Thanks

Yes it does. But the technique I show is for single rake – one side – not both

Hi Denise, maybe we are all just knitting a lot because it’s January! I have been working for a few days on zippy loom hats in the round. I have become very frustrated with my cast on and getting it tightened. I finally said to my husband I think I am going to try it the other way next time and do the brim in the cast off. I too have long wondered if it would work out because I never like my brims and have a ton of trouble tightening my loops. Thanks so much for this. I love the method and will probably never go back!!
